Rudy!,.. don't look under that rock!... Rudy Giuliani associates charged with campaign finance violations https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/10/rudy-giuliani-associates-trum...Two associates of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, have been charged with election finance violations for channeling foreign money into the president’s campaign.They are alleged to have channeled $325,000 (£260,000) to a pro-Trump political action committee, America First Action, through a “straw”, or front, company set up to disguise the true origin of the funds, which were from a person identified in the indictment as Foreign National-1.The foreigner is not identified, but the indictment said the donation was “for the purpose of gaining influence with politicians so as to advance their own personal financial interests and the political interests of Ukrainian government officials, including at least one Ukrainian government official with whom they were working”.
The money certainly bought access. Both Parnas, who was born in Ukraine, and Fruman, who is originally from Belarus, were photographed with Trump, the president’s son Donald Trump Jr and the vice-president, Mike Pence.The two men were also involved in helping Giuliani in an effort to gather compromising material on Trump’s potential challenger for the presidency, Joe Biden. Parnas was with Giuliani when he met the former special envoy on Ukraine Kurt Volker in July, to discuss persuading the incoming Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to investigate the Bidens.
